Master Plan Inc - Master Plan Inc (2013)

Master Plan Inc were led by Fred Shorts and they had only one release - hence their undiscovered status. The band had recorded much more, but it never saw the light of day, languishing in a studio archive and Short's home. Thankfully Jazzman records found it and there was enough material for a full albums worth (thanks to their website for this info).

Recorded between 1973 and 1984, none of these tracks have been released before, so there's no duplication with your current collection. The influences at work here are many and varied - I heard echoes of Tower of Power's horns, Ohio Players funk ballads, Bootsie's bass, Lynn Collins vocals, there's funk at the jazzier end of the spectrum, as well as hard edged 70's funk and it's smoother 80's descendant. Stand out tracks are a "You", with it's slow loping bass and horns back in the mix, "Bag Up" with a similar vibe and a great female vocal lead

Some of the sound quality is a little sketchy on some tracks, but that's the only downside here. If you are a fan of R&B form that era, then this is highly recommended, 17 tracks of excellent music you haven't heard before.
